More On Heathrow: E. Nough

More On Heathrow: E. Nough at Thinking Meat posted this story about increased British military presence at Heathrow Airport. This evening on NPR Crime Correspondent John Steele of London's Daily Telegraph offered more detail: that British troops are spending much of their time patrolling roads near the airport, and in particular, the flight paths for departure from the airfield. Their primary concern: surface-to-air missiles, similar to that used in Kenya.
